币界网报道:XRP-related searches in South Korea surged 44% this week, reflecting heightened interest amid broader crypto market trends. Data from local platforms shows XRP queries spiked to 548 daily, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum in search volume. Analysts attribute the surge to growing retail investor activity and anticipation around Ripple's ongoing SEC lawsuit developments. The Korean crypto community remains highly engaged with XRP, which consistently ranks among the top 5 most-traded altcoins on domestic exchanges. Market observers note this search trend often precedes price movements, though current trading volumes remain stable. The interest spike comes as South Korea's Financial Services Commission prepares new crypto regulations expected by year-end.
